Robert Baker as a Director of Technology of Cincinnati Country Day School, is responsible for creating some of the most powerful teaching and learning environments in the world. He has been instrumental in developing technology programs both in the United States and internationally focused on embedding a range of new technologies into the learning process.

First and foremost, Robert is an educator, which has allowed him to look at initiatives through the eyes of a classroom teacher focused on pedagogy, not technology. His work at Country Day makes it a lab for the world in terms of showing what is possible when schools deploy the right kind of hardware, which removes all constraints, and allows teachers to use the modality that fits the task.

Some of Robert’s most important work has been with Microsoft on replicating Country Day's shared OneNote environment that he developed and implemented in 2007, and the fruit of that labor, the Class Notebook Creator App for Office 365 has made this a powerful framework for teaching and learning available to every teacher and student in the world.

His award winning work around the use of tablet PCs with digital INK and touchscreens has seen him internationally recognized as promoting the effective infusion of technology into instruction that reflects the skills, knowledge and experience that are essential for success in the 21st century global economy.
